What Is Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy?

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a state-of-the-art medical treatment that delivers high-energy sound waves to areas of pain or injury. These waves penetrate deeply into tissues, stimulating the body’s natural repair process by improving blood flow, breaking down scar tissue, and reducing inflammation.

Originally developed to treat kidney stones, ESWT has become a trusted therapy for musculoskeletal conditions and sports injuries. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain or a stubborn injury, ESWT offers a safe, non-invasive way to jumpstart your recovery.
